I'll try reducing the temperature, thanks for the advice. They are the more fancy strain of guppy. I purchased them all from the same LFS, the same place I've bought all of my fish from without any problems before.

78 degrees.

We didn't, we don't have a QT currently. Generally we put them after allowing them time to settle (allow the temperature to adjust, adding some tank water to the bag etc). However we did get a third guppy at the same time as the two displaying symptoms and he is completely fine.

Forgot to say the tank has been running for 6 months and we've only had problems the last month. The filter is for a 100l tank and was the one we had when we cycled it.

We have a 100L tank with now 4 guppies (most we had at once was 6) and 8 cardinal tetras so we don't think it's a stocking issue. We water change 20% every week, sometimes twice and always use prime to dechlorinate the water. We have started putting in aquarium salt into the new water when we...

Good evening everyone, Hoping you may be able to help. I'm having a bit of a problem with one of my guppies. I recently purchased two male guppies, one of the two died after displaying very similar symptoms to the one I'm having problems with now. They both showed a clamped fin and really...

He wasn't like that when I got him, it definitely developed. What deficiency in their diet would cause this?

Sorry for bringing this back up, unfortunately the fish in the picture died today :(. Another one of my guppies is showing early signs of the same symptoms. I have absolutely no idea what it is or could be. I inspected the fish that died today and there was no obvious sign of disease that I...

I recently purchased a higher quality food for them as well as some blood worms for a more varied diet. Could be the change in food?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Guppy wasn't born in my tank, and he wasn't like this when I bought him around 6 months ago. This is something he has developed very recently.

Is this likely? His fins are very big, as the other of the same type I've got (but he isn't having any problems keeping his up). They are gorgeous fish, very happy to have them but I obviously don't want them to suffer.

Thanks for your post. Really appreciate your advice. I am unsure of my GH, I should really invest in a testing kit, I have a really good relationship with my local store and they will test it as often as I like for free so I've just gone in there but I think it would be best to get my own. Can...

Good evening everyone, This is my first post here so I apologise if I've missed anything. However I have noticed that one my male guppies has a bit of arched back and isn't exactly swimming great. I've attached the best picture I could get which showed the problem. It's quite hard to get a...
